“…For example, oesophageal candidiasis is more prevalent in ICS users who also have diabetes [38]. For children, both parents and physicians often express undue fear of ICS treatment, particularly with regard to its effects on growth, resulting in undertreatment and insufficient medical control of inflammation and symptoms [36,39,40]. Unfortunately, as shown by Bellamy and Harris recently [41], physicians may not solicit information adequately enough on patients' experiences or fears of adverse events [41,42].…”

SummaryAn international group of primary care asthma experts, as well as pulmonologists and allergists from Europe and the US, met to discuss asthma management focused on the primary care office. This paper summarizes their discussions. Accuracy of diagnosis and appropriateness of treatment is variable depending on the clinical circumstances and patient group. The value of classifying patients based on baseline or static asthma severity scores remains controversial, and asthma management decisions based on symptom control appear to have greater practical utility in a primary care setting. Furthermore, it must be recognized that patients, caregivers and physicians may have differing, and possibly conflicting, goals for therapy. There are many initiatives to improve the quality of asthma management, for example, primary care-focused guidelines being developed by the International Primary Care Respiratory Group, and several groups are working on asthma control scores. In addition, new therapies may improve the options available for increasing compliance and reducing side effects. In conclusion, asthma management should be patient-focused, with outcomes relevant to improving the quality of life for people with asthma.

“…Coping is directed at the inherent effects of the condition (which would need to be dealt with even in the absence of stigma), whereas stigma management represents an extra layer of effort, directed at stereotyping and discrimination resulting from the condition. Parents of children with asthma, for example, have to develop comprehensive coping skills to minimize exposures to potentially triggering events, administer prescribed regimens, and respond to their child's breathing problems, 76 parents whose children have mental disorders, especially ADHD.…”

Stigmatization and self-perception of youth with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Increasing numbers of families must learn to manage their child's attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through multimodal interventions that may include psychosocial, educational, and medication treatments. Like others with mental disorders, youth with ADHD face significant stigma in its various forms, including public (expressed as prejudice and discrimination), courtesy (stigma suffered by family members or associates of individuals with ADHD), and self-stigma (stigmatized individual's acceptance of negative views by others). Successful ADHD management requires awareness of stigma and of its potential adverse consequences on treatment initiation and persistence, but also calls for effective means to combat it. This review on stigmatization and self-perception of youth with ADHD first considers the current context of management and treatment options. Next, we appraise recent research in ADHD stigma measurement, identifying a dearth of validated tools and a need for additional instrument development, especially brief measures suitable for clinical encounters. The review then addresses studies of public stigma from the perspectives of youth and adults. A number of qualitative studies document the ubiquitous nature of public stigma experiences associated with ADHD from the perspectives of caregivers. Notably, impressions gathered in qualitative research are confirmed through quantitative studies of representative youth and adult samples, such as the National Stigma Study -Children, which report considerable stigmatization of ADHD by the general public. Unlike public stigma, courtesy stigma has not been examined through large-scale quantitative studies. However, courtesy stigma has been amply documented in qualitative research as a phenomenon experienced at various ecological levels, within the dyadic relationship with the affected child to interactions with immediate and extended family, community, and health and educational systems. Very limited research could be identified for self-stigma of youth affected by ADHD, with reports of lowered self-esteem in response to public stigma. General societal antistigma programs have been developed and implemented, consisting of three paradigms -protest, education, and contact -but insufficient guidance exists for ADHD treatment providers on how to combat stigma experienced by individual patients with ADHD and their families.

“…Not surprisingly, uninsured children with asthma have poorer health outcomes and face more health barriers than those with insurance (Wood et al, 2002). While a number of qualitative studies have investigated parental perceptions regarding their children's asthma (Englund, Rydstrom, & Norberg, 2001;Jerrett & Costello, 1996;Kieckhefer & Ratcliffe, 2000;Kurnat & Moore, 1999;Lauritzen, 2004;Mansour, Lanphear, & DeWitt, 2000;Ostergaard, 1998;Peterson-Sweeney, McMullen, Yoos, & Kitzman, 2003;Svavarsdottir, McCubbin, & Kane, 2000;Young, Fitch, Dixon-Woods, Lambert, & Brooke, 2002), these studies focused on issues related to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the child's condition. No study has specifically explored parental perceptions related to the economic hardship imposed by asthma management in low-income families.…”
